Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information Paperclip Adventures uses, where it lives, and what we do not collect today. It is meant to match how the App actually works right now. If we add accounts, a cloud journal, or any other way of storing your data off your device, we will update this policy before that feature launches and explain what would be stored elsewhere.
This policy is part of our Terms of Use. By using the App, you agree to both.
We don’t have accounts, and we don’t keep your journal
Paperclip Adventures has no sign-in and no backend of its own that stores your memories, profile, or photos. We do not ask you to create an account. Your journal stays on the device and in the browser you are using.
What stays on your device
The App stores the following in your browser so it can work when you come back:
- Memories — the adventure you completed, the date, your mood, an optional place and story, and any photo you attach (photos are resized on your device and stored with the memory).
- Videos — short videos you attach to a memory (up to 60 seconds) are stored in IndexedDB on this device, not on a Paperclip Adventures server.
- Profile — an optional display name, plus which budgets and activity types you want the App to suggest.
- Saved for later — prompts you set aside, including whether you saved the “With someone” wording.
- Cooldowns — which prompts you’ve skipped or completed, so skipped cards can step aside for a while and completed ones can rest.
- A few small flags — for example, whether you’ve drawn a first card, and, for the current browser session, whether you tapped Start and whether “With someone” is on.
This information is kept in your browser’s local storage, session storage, and IndexedDB. It is not uploaded to Paperclip Adventures. If you clear this site’s data, use a different device or browser, or reset the browser, that information can be lost and we cannot get it back for you. In the App, “Clear all memories” in your profile also deletes memories, saved prompts, cooldowns, and videos stored for this site on this device.
What we do not collect in the App today
The App does not include advertising, analytics, or tracking pixels. It does not set a tracking cookie, and it does not send your memories, photos, videos, or profile to us. We do not sell your personal information.
Information that may be collected automatically when you visit the site
The App is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like most hosts, Cloudflare may log standard request data needed to run and protect the site, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request, and the time of the request. That logging is handled by Cloudflare as the host, not by a tracking script in the App. You can read Cloudflare’s own documentation and privacy policy for more about how they process this kind of data.
The App also loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). When those files load, Google may receive your IP address and basic browser information. If you prefer not to use Google Fonts, you can block those requests in your browser; the App will still work with your device’s built-in fonts.
Sharing is optional and starts with you
Nothing is posted to Instagram or any other app unless you choose to share it. If you use Share, the system share sheet, or Copy, your device may send the photo, video, or recap (including the hashtags #paperclipadventures and #ppcadventures) to the app you pick. The Memories screen also has a link to Instagram’s public page for #paperclipadventures. Following that link takes you to Instagram, which has its own terms and privacy policy.
Children
Paperclip Adventures is intended for people 13 and older. If you are under 18, you should have a parent or guardian’s permission. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Because the App does not have accounts or a server-side journal, we are not gathering kids’ memories on our systems. If you believe a child under 13 has used the App in a way that sent information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
Your choices
You can stop using the App at any time. You can delete a single memory, or use “Clear all memories” in your profile. You can also clear this site’s data in your browser settings. Because we do not hold a copy of your journal, we cannot provide, correct, or delete that journal for you from our side — it lives on your device.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, including before we launch accounts or cloud sync, if we add those features. The new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
